What I'm looking for

I’m looking to deepen my impact in ESG research and data governance—translating emissions and disclosures into regulatory-ready, assurance-minded outputs, while supporting teams with strong validation, traceability, and stakeholder-ready analytics.

I’m an ESG and sustainability professional with 7+ years of experience supporting ESG strategy, regulatory reporting, and disclosure for global organizations. I lead ESG research and data governance work that turns complex ESG requirements into clear, practical deliverables—rooted in strong data quality, KPI management, and audit readiness.

I’ve guided teams across multiple research streams, strengthened validation protocols, and ensured consistency across ESG disclosures by bridging ESG data, reporting, and compliance expectations. From ISO 14064-aligned Scope 1, 2, and 3 mapping to Excel-based GHG calculation models and Power BI dashboards, I focus on traceability, transparency, and documentation standards that stand up to assurance needs.
